Are You Hard on Shoes?
Many a woman thinks fhe is hard on
shoe's when the fact of the matter is her
shoes have tricked her. If your shoes
go to pieces unreasonably soon it's
the fault of the maker. To meet
competition he has skimped and
scalped and substituted inferior for
honest materials till there s noth

Jury Remained Out Only a Short
Time Prisoners Released But
Held Under Bond for Assault on
Stack Judge Alien Gives De
fendants Advice.
After beine out about four hours
last Wednesday, the jury in the case
of Gus, Will and Winifred Belk,
charged with the murder of Ben
Hunter, returned a verdict 01 noi
guilty. There is no question that
the verdict was a surprise to me
public. At the request of the solici
tor the men were Dut under bond
for appearance to stand trial for as-
siult upon waiter Macs, me man
who was m the ngbt wten Hunter
was killed. Oa giving bonds the
defendants were released and soon
left for their homes. On dismissing
the defendants, Judg5 Allen said:
"1 do not think that you should
go out with a fueling of exultation.
I have been trying cases over North
Carolina for eight years, aad I have
not been in the habit of criticizing
the verdicts of juries, and I will not
criticize this one, but I have never
seen men make a closer escape with
their lives. I was not sure that the
jury ought to have brought in a ver
dict of murder in the first degree,
but I did net expect an acquittal.
And had they brought in a verdict
of less than murder in the first de
gree, I should have sentenced each
of you to 20 years in the penitentiary.
You ought to go home now and re
member that you have taken the life
of a fellowman, and stop carrying
guns and pistols and lead a new
life."
When The Journal weat to press
last week the evidence had been
concluded and the lawyers were
speaking. Kedwine & Sikes for the
State, and ilcNeely iic.Neeiy and
Williams, Lemmond & Love for the
defense spoke during the day on
Tuesday, and Judga Oiborne for the
defense and Solicitor Stack spoke at
night, it being after 11 o'clock when
the solicitor hnished nis argument.
Judee Osborne becan at 1 :M and
occupied more than two hours. His
address was a masterly presentation
of the case for the defendants. The
solicitor SDoke a little more than an
hour, making a powerful argument
in behalf 01 the State ana terribly
arraigning the prisoners at the bar
for what he called the most coward
ly murder ever committed in North
Carolina.
Judge Allen charged the jury
Wednesday mornine. his charce
being very clear and impartial, and
the jury retired at 11 0 clock, re
turning their verdict at three.
George flahew Gets New Trial.
dsorae Mahew. the nesro convict
ed last August with Charles B. Ply
ler for the murder of Walter Parks,
was granted a new trial last ednes
day by Judge Allen. At the time of
the conviction last August, Judge
Allen did not sentence Mah.;w, be
lieving that there were grave doubts
as to his guilt. In granting the mo
tion for a new trial last Wednesday.
Judge Allen stated that he had gone
over the evidence very carefully, and
as Mahew was tried with another
man, he thought he was justified in
granting the new trial. Mahew was
rnlpasedon bond of S 400. Counsel
for Plyler are making strong effort
to get his sentence commuted to lite
imprisonment.

To build a buggy that combines style, comfort, finish and durability
has been our aim since the first conception of Piedmont Buggies. Our fac
tory is located in the famous Piedmont section of North Carolina the
best, timbered section in this country: our machinery is of the latest
improved patterns; every man in our shop is a skilled mechanic, and every
inch of material used is carefully selected and inspected by experts. These
are some of the conditions that go to make Piedmont Bugles the height of per
fection in buggy building.
We have studied carefully the requirements of buggies in the South, and
endeavor to construct our Piedmont Buftfies to meet these conditions-they are
built in the South, by Southern people and for the Southern people.
Piedmont Buggies will give you better service,
last longer, and cost less to keep up.
